Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4140332A1] An aerosol generation device and a control method thereof are provided. The aerosol generation device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include a liquid supply part configured to supply a liquid aerosol-forming substrate, a vaporization element configured to vaporize the supplied liquid aerosol-forming substrate to generate an aerosol in a vaporization space, and an airflow path configured to allow the aerosol generated in the vaporization space to move toward a mouthpiece. Here, the vaporization element, an inlet of the airflow path, and an outlet of the airflow path may be formed of a nonlinear structure, and through this structure, a droplet discharge phenomenon and an airflow path blockage phenomenon may be prevented.
